Default How many tooth speedo gear do I need? Help!

Hi Everyone,

I need to get the correct speedometer gear for my '78, but I have no idea which one to get. My car is an L-82, automatic, the optional 255 tires and 3.55 gears. It is stock.

Any idea on which gear I should use? I have looked around, and have found tons of them, but non are listed by what the car has.

Thanks for any help!

Rick

If you are running a 26 inch tall tire, you will need a grey 15 tooth drive gear and a dark blue 43 tooth driven gear.
